It cuts both ways. Sometimes I ask Gemini 3.5 Flash to do something for me and it kicks it out almost instantly and it works great, and it's a bit scary how quickly it can do that.

Then I ask it to do something else and it goes off-road and where I used to be able to interject with a "wow wow wow, that's not right", by the time I see the text on screen and react it's already made massive changes. Short of making it commit between every edit it's hard to prevent it from going wrong as quickly as it goes right (and even then, it can make a boo-boo on a remote API too depending on how much privilege it has).

I use planning mode in opencode. It has a prompt to tell it to plan it out etc. Then I execute with a smaller model. it works well
